If the Republican party really approves
of the public insults offered by some of its

many respects the ablest and purest chief
magistrate since Lincoln, it is welcome TO

see by the Wichita papers that that
energetic city has opened wide its arms tc
valuable enterprise which the tyranny OF
fools drove out of Topeka. / refer to the
Herder vinegar works. In twenty five
minutes Wichita raised $4,000 to aid the
man Topeka rejected.
Mr.. Herder has been here nine years and
has paid out for labor over $500, 0O0, was
good citizen and an enterprising man.
II this course is to continue we might as
well write "Ichabod" over all the avenues
In Topeka.
The goody goody cranks who handicap
every enterprise seem to have this grand
and beautiful city In their baneful clasp.
All honor to the enterprise of Wichita.
Shame. shame upon the bigotry of crank
ism.-Cor. Topeka Democrat
The enterprising citizens of Wichita
know a good thing when they see it-know
what it takes to build city. and that's
what they are here for. They are taking
in enterprises right along that will give
profitable employment to labor and capital
That is the policy that put Wichita in the
lead in the state and is going to keep her
there. Thank you for your compliment.

The chances are that the sorghum crop
next year will be made the principal crop
In some sections; If so all the sugar works
row proposed and good many more will
be needed to reduce the juice of the cane
to crude saccharine substance. But it will
require to be carried through the refining
process before the sugar is really market
able for the retail trade, and here Is where
Wichita will come in. AS soon as 1t is
demonstrated that the product will demand
or justify 1t, refining establishments will be
put In operation here, thus max
ing Wichita Lot only the central
market for the crude article for wide
scope of country, as it is for other farm
products and live stock, but also the chief
market place for the purchase of sugar in
all grades known to commerce for much
greater extent of territory, as 1t is now for
almost every other mercantile commodity.
Wichita is glad to see SO much interest
manifested in this new industry, and will
be gladder still to witness the erection of a
sugar making establishment In every town
and village in the country; every one such
means that much more business for Wichita.

NJ. A. Partlett Lloyd, OF Washington,
- written book on divorce law, which
eoatains much that ID interesting on this
ahsogbiDg subject. In his classifying of
" "saay states in which to secure divorces
~ sAys: The wife may secure . divorce
x hse husband fail to support her in New
Hampehire, Massachusetts,, Maine, Yer.
mont, Rhode Ialand, Indiana, Michigan,
Nebgasks, Delaware, Tennessee, Nevada,
Colombo, Washington Territory, Idaho,
Wyoming, Utah, Arizona and for "wilful
neelectn in California and Dakota. Dis
appearance of either party is sufficient
cause in New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode
Island and Connecticut. Divorces are still
readily granted in Rhode Island for ''groes
nisbehavior and wickedness repugnant to
and in violation Of the marriage contract"
for "cruel and barbarous treatment Of
wife' in Pennsylvania; for any or indefinite
causes at the discretion Of the court in
Wisconsin, Washington Territory, Arizona
end Florida; also in Ohio and Michigan
where tho other party has secured di.
yogce in another state, or after five years
voluntary separation in Wisconsin and
Kentucky.
Giving statistics on the subject, the au.
thor finds that the San Francisco ratio of
divorces to marriages In 1881 reached the
amazing number Of divorce to every SIS
marriages, largely exceeding the New
England rate. The ratio Of the two most
popul0us counties Of Minnesota increased
in ten years In one Of them from divorce
In 9.3 marriages to in 229; and in the
other from l in 10 to IL in IL. For six
yean tho rate in Cook county (Chicago)
Illinois, has been in every 9.5 marriages.
Tho Ohio courts in 1882 granted di.
vorce to every 1873 marriages.. Philadel.
phia granted 1Ol divorces in 1852, 2l5 in
1872 and AT in 1882, while New York city
granted 2l2 In 1870 and 316 in 1882 al
though much larger city, New York fall
: behind Philsdelphis BY Isl cases Of divorc,
in 1882. This can b somewhat accounted
for BY the nine causes for divorce under
Pennsylvania law and only one under the
New York law.
Connecticut In 1878, and for fifteen years
prior thereto, granted about l divorce to
every l0.4 marriages. Vermont for the
same year, to IA. Massachusetts, for
that year, to 2l.4. Rhode Island in 1882
toll. New Hampshire in 1882, to lO. 8,
Maine In 1880, / to 10.
The student Of humanity will find food
for reflection in these figures.

Tee Republican Convention.

The Republican convention met and
nominated in short order the slated candi-
dates, and speedily adjourned after resolv.
ing that the Republican state government,
from the governor through to Tom Cooper,
chairman Of the Republican state com.
mittee, was as good as it could be. 1t also
resolved that the Democratic national ad-
ministration was a. bad as it could be, and
was only distinguished for imbecility and
Tor love Of the rebel flag. Mr.. Gladstone
has its approval; and 30 has James G..
Blaine. Upon the tariff it makes its usual
meaningless utterances, demanding that
needful protection for American manufac.
turers and labor which no considerable body
Of people desire to take away from them.
There il no issue presented by this con-
vention for tho campaign, save the general
ono OF the respective fitness Of the two par.
ties to govern, as illustrated by their record.
It may reasonably be concluded that the
opinion Of the majority Of the people Of the
state Is to the national administration is
not the one declared by this convention I;
and II the voters act upon their convictions
H u safe 70 say that the Republican tick ct

Republican voters do not generally vote

publican politicians declare theirs in con-
